N.J. Gov. Seeks to Draw Abortionists to Garden State

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has included a $2 million incentive program in his new budget proposal to draw “reproductive healthcare providers” to the Garden State, according to Catholic News Agency.
Murphy’s remarks on the 2026 budget indicate the initiative was designed to appeal to abortion providers in pro-life states, saying the program would bring reproductive healthcare providers to New Jersey who have been “targeted by politicians elsewhere.”
“I will certainly never back down from defending women — and protecting their access to reproductive healthcare and, especially, their right to an abortion,” Murphy said on Tuesday. “Those folks in Washington can try and push their anti-choice agenda on us. But as long as I am governor, they will fail.”
With the 2026 budget, the governor declared that his administration was “going to make the largest investment into protecting reproductive rights in our state’s history by fully funding women’s healthcare.”

As pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian I don’t understand why the Taxpayers of the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee have to subsidize or incentivize that Phil Murphy calls “reproductive healthcare providers”.
There is a lot of emotion in this issue and personally I believe that “abortion” is a tricky topic.
Up to a certain point, the Gooferment should have no role in what should be a terrible decision that has to be made by a woman. Perhaps guided by her doctor, her family, and her Church, she should be free to chose what she sees as “best”.
At some point, the child gets the rights of a human being. I don’t know what that point is: conception, 3 months, viability outside of the womb, 6 months, at birth, at some number of days after birth, when they can assert their rights, at 18, at 21. As I said, I don’t know.
But I do know, that the Gooferment should not add to the fury. “It’s all sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Using Taxpayer money to attract more killing of human beings seems like a failure to understand the basic role of Gooferment: “Protect its citizens!”
No mater what age they are.
It’s a topic best left to the people. If Murphy wants, then let him pay out of his pocket; not mine. Or start a GOFUNDME!
